im using advanced nutrients medium - heavy feeding chart.

and the peak ppm is supposed to be 1800.

but today when i added all of my nutrients it was 2300, i always add my nutrients really precise aswell, but this time i mixed in the left over nutes from my last feed back into the tank, obviously it has all settled to the bottom an made my mix far too strong!!!!!!! is this far to high?
what is the maximum ppm u can have?

i have just left the ppm at that level in the nutrient tank, or shall i add more water to bring it down?????

quick help wud be really greatful

Also when i checked my other resivoir, it started at 1800ppm when i 1st filled it, but a few days later that also was at 2300!!!!!!
why is this as i fill my tanks up to 100 litres and they gravity feed into trays, so the plants dont take from the actual res tank.

If thats what they say and you ought it then maybe use it. I personally would never run Advanced Nutes that high. Depends on strain and size in most cases. I never go over 1100ppm with H&G and there even cut with fulvic and humics. i would drop it to 600of food and 200-400ppm of additives. Then u should b fine. 2 questions, Why Advanced? and Why heavy feeding?

i use:

sensi bloom A & B
F1
H2
B52
SENSICAL
BIG BUD POWDER,
CARBOLOAD

at the minute, i use advanced nutrients because i have heard good things, and i thought i would give them a try as this is my 1st grow, also i was advised by advanced nutrients that if im growing flowers then use light feeding, but any bud or fruits, then use a heavier feed, so i came up with medium-heavy feed. i personally think 1100 is far too low, even on week 1 of feed my ppm has never been that low, im into week 4 of bloom, i have cheese and L.A Kushberry.

1. your tap water may have a lot of dissolved particles/solids in it.
2. AN's feeding schedules are notoriously bad. Just about all them tell you to use too much. Bottom line is start playing and see what works for you.

i use water from my dehumidifier so that isnt the problem, and although my ppm is quite high, i havnt ever had nute burn, ive also callobrated my e.c metre so that is correct, i guess i will use a bit less than recommended, cheers guys, any other advice wud be welcome.
